Detention

The first two episodes are okay But it goes south from there. Episode 5 is by far the worst, totally waste of time. If Espinosa 5 is made to make their relationship explicit, I would it's meaningless. If this is a horror, not terrible at at. If this is a love story, the relationship is so cliche and boring. If this is a psychological/mental, all you have is a fragile naive girl and a mental loser mom. Plots are so easily predicted. Either the writer loses his focus or the series has nothing to do with the movie. If you don't like the first two, no need to go further.

I liked almost everything about this!

The storyline was good, even though sometimes it seemed a bit slow but everything was revealed in a neat way.

The visual effects were great, the actors did a good job, I did feel myself getting more and more connected with each character, even the ones that pissed me off.

I also love how everything came together in the end. Vengeance does bring more pain and that's what this series was trying to tell us. Sometimes just acceptance is enough to bring you peace.

I say go for it if you're into paranormal/psychological shows.

I see people complaining about it not being a horror, I honestly didn't even go into it thinking of it as a horror so my expectations weren't high in that regard. It was still nice regardless.

I am enjoying this series. This first 1 and 2 episodes are a little slow to get going, but by the third episode I am hooked. Eagerly awaiting the release of the final episodes.

"Detention" is a slow-burn series with a great twist. While I don't know much about Chinese history, I can sense that they did a good job incorporating it into the storyline. Additionally, like many Chinese movies, the message is very profound and thought-provoking. It keeps me reflecting on the importance of facing difficulties instead of burying them and how love can be both beautiful and painful. The horror aspect of the series is not overly scary and avoids jump scares or grotesque ghosts, making it more psychologically intriguing than terrifying. Overall, it's a unique blend of horror, history, and emotional depth.

I was actually intrigued by this series because at first I thought it was a movie like it was when it was just released. But it turns out that this is a series that is either related to the film version or not. At least until episode 5-6 I still like it but the rest I can't stand it anymore because it's too boring.
